Royals’ Gilmour King Of The OHL
CORNWALL—The Belleville Bulls did it. The North Bay Centennials did it. So did the Kitchener Rangers. What did they do? Those three were the only teams this season that managed to keep Cornwall Royals’ star center Doug Gilmour from accumulating at least one point in a game. Gilmour, a seventh-round selection of the St. Louis Blues, failed to score a point in the Royals’ first, fourth and seventh games this season. He missed the next two games and then went wild. In the next 55 games, Gilmour scored at least one point per game, notching 61 goals and 99 assists for 160 points. Add that to the three goals and five assists he managed in Cornwall’s first seven games and you have a total of 64 goals and 104 assists for 168 points, tops…
ECAC Semi-Finals Shape Up As Expected
BOSTON-If the Eastern Colleges Athletic Conference Division One quarterfinal playoffs were designed to ensure that all the seeded teams made it into the playoffs’ semi-final round, then the design worked. All four teams won their respective quarter-final matchups and advanced to the Boston Garden where No. 4 St. Lawrence was to meet top-seed Providence, while New Hampshire and Harvard, the No. 3 and 2 seeds respectively, were paired for the other semi-final game.

Leafs Can’t Look Too Far Ahead
TORONTO—There have not been too many occasions when the adage—you have to play one game at a time—has been truer than in the recent stretch of games faced by the Maple Leafs as they entered the March and early April denoument of the schedule, a period that will determine if they will be playoff participants or watchers. Counting the last game of their recent six-game winning streak, which included back-to-back triumphs against divisional rival St. Louis, the Leafs played six games in nine nights. And four of the opponents, Boston, Philadelphia, the Islanders and Edmonton, are considered at the top of the list for Stanley Cup success, which makes holding off the surging Red Wings and trying to catch the Blues a touch more difficult. Plus, after Wayne Gretzky and his…

The International Hockey Weekly Founded in 1947 Published by W.C.C. Publishing Ltd. 214 King St. West, Suite 314, Toronto, Ont. M5H 1K4 Let’s Make A Deal AS THIS ISSUE went to press, it was the eve of the National Hockey League trading deadline. We could only hypothesize what would have happened by noon on March 8. There was, as usual, a lot of talk about blockbuster deals. Everyone was waiting for the New York Islanders to announce their spring shocker, the trade that’s supposed to give them what they need to repeat as Stanley Cup champions. And John Ferguson and Scotty Bowman were said to be making rumblings on the trading floor. Alas, deadlines being what they are, we have no major trades to announce and we’re not about to speculate, at least not in…
